WWE NXT 27/2/19 | My Coherent Review.

This is a great example of how the length time of NXT is too short because this show honestly was great and I do expect NXT to top this show because it's NXT and they know what they're doing. 

Opening Segment.

The gold standard of pro wrestling aka NXT kicked off with the former North American champion Johnny Gargano coming out to the ring. 

Johnny Gargano grabbed a microphone and he said that his match with the Velveteen Dream was one of his toughest. Johnny also said that he feels like Johnny champion with no championship on his waist. 

Out came his former arch-enemy, Tommaso Ciampa and he said that the both of them as a duo are unstoppable and how they need each other. After that, Tommaso Ciampa offered Johnny Gargano to team up with him in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic to which Johnny Gargano accepted. 

Short segment but to the point and it gives some direction to this storyline. This Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic hasn't been that star-studded probably since Finn Balor was in that tournament back in late 2015. 

After that, Cathy Kelly interviewed Ricochet about how he has unfinished business with Undisputed Era and he's going to talk to William Regal so that he could put himself and Aleister Black in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic tournament. 

Aliyah and Vanessa Bourne vs Taynara Conti and Xia Li.

Man, those spinning kicks to Aliyah from Li were executed to perfection but Unfortunately, Xia Li wasn't able to win this match because the team of Aliyah and Vanessa Bourne won the match with a double team spinning neckbreaker to Xia Li. I'm liking this side of Aliyah week by week and I hope that she's utilized to her big potential. 

After that, there were two separate segments played back to back between Velveteen Dream, The Undisputed Era, Io Shirai and Bianca Belair and what's the similarity? Well, they all disagreed with each other about a championship opportunity. 

Dominic Djakovic vs Keith Lee.

During the match, Djakovic did a great looking sitout chokeslam to a near fall. This match ended with a double count out. Creative, GIVE ME A REMATCH NOW!! 

The final 4 teams competing in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic tournament are, Ricochet and Aleister Black, Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch, #DIY and NXT UK’s Moustache Mountain. 

Sasha Banks and Bayley Talks about the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship.

The Boss n’ Hug connection came out with a standing ovation from the full sail crowd. They cut a promo basically saying that they are looking out for competition on RAW, Smackdown Live and NXT. Another short segment and they didn't say anything noteworthy but it's nice to see those young ladies back in nxt. 

Mia Yim vs Shayna Baszler. 

WWE Photo
Shayna Baszler in this match was aiming at Mia Yim's leg considering that Yim is known for her knee strikes and I'm loving it. Great storytelling being told in this match. Shayna Baszler won the match with the clutch submission. Even in defeat, Mia Yim looked great in this and I do see her in Women's championship contention very soon. In other words, NXT did a great job at showcasing who Mia Yim is as a wrestler. Overall a very good match. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos: 

Like: Opening Segment, Mia Yim vs Shayna Baszler, Sasha Banks and Bayley Talks about the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship, Dominic Djakovic vs Keith Lee. 

Didn't like: Nothing.

My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Chris Jericho Offers Moxley To Join Inner Circle, The Go-Home Show Before Dec 18th.

I thought the middle act of AEW Dynamite suffered some pacing issues even though it was overall a much stronger show than last week's episode.  The latest episode of NXT, however, has built a solid foundation on what's to come on December 18th. The main question is, which show do I like better? The answer is AEW.  NXT  Highlights. Angel Garza vs Lio Rush For The NXT Cruiserweight Championship.  Was this match better than their first encounter? Like Snoop Dogg's verse in Sasha Banks' theme song, "Hell yea". Garza slams Rush hard on the ring apron by pushing the champ. Moments later, Garza delivers the Spanish Fly and Rush kicked out of that.  As Rush hits the frog splash, the champ wanted to pull him back in the middle of the ring but instead, he ripped off Garza's pants (nice attention to detail).  Angel then hits the wind clipper but Lio kicked out which led to a wind clipper submission and the man of the hour tapped out which m...

NXT Takeover Phoenix | My Coherent Review.

NXT Takeover was a great show with great wrestling, energetic crowd and intriguing storytelling (OMG, REALLY? I didn’t know that).  War Raiders vs The Undisputed Era (Kyle O’ Reilly and Roderick Strong) for the NXT Tag Team Championship.  First off, cool entrance by War Raiders. Secondly, the match was entertaining. At one point, Strong did a superplex to Hanson. The match ended with War Raiders delivered the Fallout to Kyle O ‘Reilly and won the match. War Raiders are the new NXT Tag Team Champions deservedly so.  Matt Riddle vs Kassius Ohno. During the match, Ohno hit Riddle right on his mouth which absolutely looked brutal. Minutes after that, Riddle hits Ohno with series of elbow strikes which made Ohno tap out and won the match. A very unique finish but nevertheless, this was a decent match.  Johnny Gargano vs Ricochet for the NXT North American Championship.  Those guys put on the absolute clinic of a wrestling match. But that ending ...

WWE RAW 8/7/19 | My Coherent Review.

Overall, I really thought that this episode of Monday Night RAW was decent, however, this is not a Vince McMahon approved RAW without a few if not some logic holes.  Seth Rollins And Becky Lynch vs Andrade and Zelina Vega.  Damn, the second week in a row where Monday Night RAW started off with a match. Gotta say I'm impressed. This is an elimination mixed tag team match which I'll give some kudos to WWE for making this tag match feel different but we shall see how different it is from. Becky Lynch eliminated Zelina Vega which means that Becky is pretty much going to watch this match unfold if that makes any sense?  Andrade did the three amigos to Seth and Seth countered the third suplex with the falcon arrow. That was nice. Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch won the match with the stomp to Andrade.  Surprisingly, this was a decent opening match. After the match, Baron Corbin sought attacked Seth Rollins while Lacey Evans hits Becky Lynch with the woman...
